How long did each Greek theatre play last?

Answer 1

Greek theatre plays typically lasted around 2 to 3 hours, though the exact duration could vary depending on the play and its performances. They were often structured in a series of acts and included interludes of choral songs and dances. In festivals, multiple plays were presented in a single day, often as part of a trilogy followed by a satyr play. The focus was on both dramatic storytelling and the audience's engagement with the performance.
